I want to major in wildlife management and join the Peace Corps after college to do work with wild & endangered animals. Has anyone ever done similar work? And any stories, suggestions, or opinions about this?
I work as a wildlife biologist and mostly work with endangered bird species. I have a degree in zoology [...]
I’ve been reading about the death of this female trainer who was killed by a killer whale and one thing that always surprises me is the shock of other people reaction as to why the killer whale killed this female trainer. Why do people assume that captured wild animals will eventually become tame and predictable. [...]
I’ve always loved animals, and my dad wants me to go to Cornell University to become a Vet. But i don’t really like small animals and i want to work with larger wild animals. I’m thinking of maybe working at a zoo, but i don’t know if that will be what i want. I know [...]
Should the animals who eat meat become vegetarians too and eat plants and grass?
I don’t see why humans shouldn’t eat meat when other animals do. Any wild animal that eats meat would attack and eat you in a second. So why is it so terrible for us?

I am a wild life lover, I always wanted to have wild animals as pets (herbivorous). I am having a vision of setting up my own sanctuary with full of herbivorous animals in it. For this reason I also wanted to import a couple of red kangaroos from Australia. But I am not sure on [...]
Why do a lot of exotic African animals still exist if Humans first evolved in Africa and lived there for all those thousands of years?

I love animals, so when I’m older I want to help raise wild animals who’ve lost their mothers, then release them into the wild when they’re old enough. What do you call that career?
Animals that are raised by humans to be released back into the wild are only allowed to have MINIMAL interaction with humans..you [...]
Cheetahs and wolves for example. In ancient times, people used to keep these animals as pets and tamed them just fine, so why cant we have them today? Shouldnt they at least let us acquire some sort of wild pet permit instead of making them 100% illegal? Sure some animals would never be goodas pets, [...]
I have always wanted to take part in the care of exotic animals. I always watch the Growing up Cheetah and Growing up Clouded Leopard (and all the other ones too!) and I am always very jealous of the care takers. I want to know how I could either raise, own, rebabilitate or even just [...]
I know you can’t just get a wild animal but I also know there are companies that sell wild animals. What do you have to do to be able to have a wild animal? Is there just one license that covers all wild animals or are there specific licenses for each type of wild animal? [...]
